While I’m currently running Peaks 2.5 DSC coilovers, I wanted to make a more detailed post about Peak Suspension 2-Piece Trail Kit and break down its key aspects for anyone considering it as I got the chance to run it and test it out for a bit before making the switch to the 2.5s.
1. **Lift and Performance:**
The 2-Piece Trail Kit offers a simple, effective way to lift your vehicle by adding spacers to the stock suspension. It's a great option that will give 2.25" of added clearance, however, doesn't offer adjustability, making it more of a "set it and forget it" solution. There is also the option for a 1"-2" rear spacer to complete the lift. It’s great for those who just want a straightforward lift without the option to fine-tune their suspension.
...And yes, you can fit 35s (with some possible trimming) with this option!
2. **Ride Quality:**
The 2-Piece Trail Kit retains a "stock-like" feel through its design, which includes a top mount spacer and lower spring seat adapter. While it does maintain a great ride on and off road, it doesn't offer the smoothness or customization found with the DSC coilovers. For more extreme off-roading, it might not handle as well in comparison to a fully adjustable system.
3. **Price:**
The 2-Piece Trail Kit is an affordable option, priced right around $480-$520 (depending on the option chosen for the rear spacer). It provides a solid performance upgrade without the higher cost of a full coilover setup. This makes it a good choice for those on a budget who want a simple lift but don't need all the tuning options.
4. **Ease of Installation:**
While the 2-Piece Trail Kit is easier to install than many alternatives, one may still benefit by having a shop perform the installation as it will require the use of a spring compressor. However, with some technical knowledge and the right tools, the installation can still be completed with ease by those wanting to do the install themselves.
**Final Thoughts:**
The 2-Piece Trail Kit offers a practical, budget-friendly solution for those looking to lift their vehicle without breaking the bank. It’s an excellent choice for those who want a solid upgrade but don’t need all the adjustability and performance enhancements that come with something like the DSC Coilovers.
Let me know if anyone would like a review comparing the two setups! I’m happy to share my experience with both! Also let me know if I left anything out!
